    AbstractThe updated 2005 American Heart Association Pediatric Advanced Life Support guidelines aim to improve overall survival from cardiac arrest. These revised guidelines are result of extensive evaluation of scientific evidence and have become simplified to emphasize quality basic life support (BLS) and effective cardiac compressions. Successfully applied techniques of both basic and advanced life support are crucial in improving neonatal and pediatric resuscitation outcomes. This article reviews the scientific evidence and the updated management and treatment guidelines essential for the health care provider in caring for children with cardiac and respiratory arrest.
